Copy-Protected CDs Going Mainstream

bmarklein writes "According to this CNET article, Arista is going to start shipping copy-protected CDs in volume. Looks like the discs will include DRM'd Windows Media files in the second session. No mention of which titles will be affected, but Arista is the home of Santana, Whitney Houston, Pink, TLC and Kenny G."

    Is it compact? Sure. Is it a disc? Yup.

    It's still a CD.

    If it does not comply with the Red Book audio standard, it can't use the "Compact Disc Digital Audio" logo, well at least not without false advertising and possible lawsuit coming from Phillips for the misrepresentation.
